We have arrived and set up.  Had plenty of experts waving their arms and providing useful tips on backing up a trailer.  What a show!

As you can see its a nice beautiful day.  Took the truck and trailer through a semi truck wash so we shed all the road dirt getting here.

Internet here is almost non existent, you have to go to a room onsite with all the internet equipment and join the club to use the wifi.  Cellular is worse!!  No one here sitting around staring at their phones.  Maybe that is a good thing?

We have already signed up to go to one play in February.

Maricopa / Gila Bend - Petroglyphs

Image
We hit the road again today and went to the Maricopa / Gila Bend Petroglyph site.  Ancient native americans carved symbols into the rock, which are preserved to this day.  There were quite a few at this site and a few instances of people from the 1800's making their mark. It was a crisp beautiful day, temps have been low for here, was about 58 today.   Although the weather has been a bit cool for here the past couple weeks as you can see by the weather app, we will be seeing a 25 degree change in the coming week.   S topped at an artistic store in Gila Bend, and admired the rusted metal sculptures. We'll let you know when we are on the road again, took the scenic route back from the petroglyphs on the Maricopa highway.  Well worth the slower pace.

Casa Grande Domes

This last week Doris and I visited the Casa Grande Domes.  This site is just down the road from us, but is basically in the middle of the desert.  You will see by the pictures that the Domes are crumbling now and it wasn't advisable to enter them.   The story behind the Casa Grande Domes The Domes were built in 1983 by InnerConn Technology Inc., a manufacturer of circuit boards for computers and watches. In 1982, the owner of InnerConn, announced plans to relocate the company headquarters from California to the 135-acre site in Casa Grande, AZ. The unusual shape and composition of the structures was chosen for its relatively low cost, speedy construction time, and efficient insulation. Each structure took approximately six weeks to build and cost about $150,000 apiece. Construction went something like this: After the foundations were complete, giant balloons were mounted onto them, supported by steel skeletons. A coating of polyurethane foam was applied to t...

Lots of Great Activity

Vietnam Memorial, Traveling Wall. The Vietnam memorial traveling wall, came past our resort last week.  It was set up in a park just a half mile from our resort.  It was a surreal experience, quite solemn.  Found 2 Pederson's and 3 Cromwells on the wall.  None of them related. This one just choked me up.....   Show and Tell: The park had show and tell, so all the crafty people came out and showed there stuff.  I set up the chess board and my friend Craig had a wonderful Indian head out of Cottonwood bark. SOYLENT GREEN PLANT LOCATED: Just behind our Resort is this omanis building, looks creepier at night.  All black, sits out in the open desert.  We are pretty sure it's a Soylent Green plant.  Lots of opportunities for harvesting ingredients nearby. Actually is a water reclamation plant.
